RE:

I'm not sure if human/machine cognitive overload is the problem here so much as the level of pressure and stress on the PNF. For all my opinion's worth as a layman with an interest, could it be the human/human interface that is causing the issue?

IanW's comments and yours are not mutually exclusive. Both factors were at play here and I believe, in terms of "cause", the final report will reflect and expand upon the points expressed in IanW's excellent post, as well as your insightful observations re the PNF /PF interactions. (Just because you're a "layman" in terms of piloting, doesn't mean you have this wrong.)
